Brad Kingsbury Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I wish to create a scene called "Spa" in which it first enables the SPA READY mode, using one device switch, and then after that, turns on the SPA HEATER, using another device switch. When I add the 2 device switches to the scene, how do I ensure that the SPA READY device switch is executed first, then the SPA HEATER device switch? The order is important, since the power for the SPA HEATER switch is disabled, until the SPA READY device is ON.
LeeG Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Has to be done with two different Scenes or with two Direct commands. The nature of an Insteon Scene is for all the devices in the Scene to react essentially simultaneously. A single Insteon Scene message is issued with all the Responders of the Scene reacting as the message is received. If the SPA READY device requires some seconds to react insert a Wait between issuing the two Scene or two Direct commands.
oberkc Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I don't think you can do this with "scenes". In case it was unclear from LeeG response, this likely requires a program. The program could trigger from an insteon device of your choice and cause your spa ready and heater could come on in proper order, with a small wait period between.
